March was a monumental month in my life — it marked my move to full-time blogger. (Look at all that alliteration!) I spent the first few weeks of this new existence catching up on long-neglected blog chores, but have now begun to focus on my writing. I’m excited about the weeks and months to come!

Here are some of the posts I especially liked this month:

• March 4th: Uncommon lifestyles and the truth about The 4-Hour Workweek: An interview with Tim Ferriss
• March 5th: How to inoculate your children against advertising (a guest post from Lisa Tiffin)
• March 6th: How to prevent identity theft — deter, detect, defend
• March 17th: Luck is no accident: 10 ways to get more out of work and life
• March 20th: The negative saving rate and the age of easy credit
• March 23rd: The magic of thinking small
• March 25th: What’s not to love about a new car? (a guest post from Katrina Ramser)
• March 31st: Drama in real life: Wrecked rental

Best of the Forums
The Get Rich Slowly discussion forums were especially active this month, spawning a number of great threads:

• What do you think the answer is to rising health care costs?
• Bear Stearns and investing now?
• How much school loan debt do you have?
• Pre-approval and buying a car
• In-laws = Credit fraud!

The forums are a great place to chat with your fellow readers. Have questions about emergency funds? Ask! Want to chat about cheap vacations? This is the place to do it. (Since opening a year ago, the forums have 1400 registered users and more than 16,500 posts.)

   I’m hoping that on March 31st, 2009, I will be able to make a similar post

   I started my blog in March of this year. Technically, it was in February because I posted my first article on the last day of the month, but for all intents and purposes I consider it to be “born” in March.

   I have been reading GRS for a long time now and to be honest, JD’s journey kinda inspired me, so I took the plunge.

   The articles are well-researched and flow very well. My personal favorite this month is “The Magic Of Thinking Small”. So true. I eased into it and watched other members who signed up along with me go all out and burn out within weeks.

   I also liked the slightly ironic tone of “What’s Not To Love About A New Car?”. Good Stuff!

   Keep up the good work. The Money Blog Network is really he gold standard!

   The post about innoculating children from advertising is a great one. I see it in a lot of kids these days, this complete servitude for commercials and we need to see it stop.
